When you get those pre-approved letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and junk like that, most of them come with postage paid return envelopes, right?

Well, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little envelopes!

Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Or a pizza coupon to Citibank.

If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their application back! Just make sure your name isn't on anything you send them. Heck, you can send it back empty if you want to just to keep 'em guessing!

Let's turn this into a chain letter! Eventually, the banks and credit card companies will begin getting all their crap back in the mail.

Let's let them know what it's like to get junk mail, and best of all... THEY'RE paying for it! Twice! Let's help keep our postal service busy since they say e-mail is cutting into their business, and that's why they need to increase postage again!

 

Dude, that is a frickin' fantastic idea! I get a pre-approved credit card application like every damn day, so I think I may take advantage of your thought. Did you come up with that all by yourself?

 

What a coincidence!!

Before loggin on, I litteraly just send back one of those credit card offers in their own envelope with all their crap in there!! I just strike trough my name and write 'no thanks' on the page in black marker!

I like your idea to mix 'n match though!

I absolutely HATE junk mail.

Reduce the bulks and bulks and bulks of enviromental unfriendly ink on paper from chopped trees (which used to turn CO2 into Oxygen, you know) and the enviromentalists can relax a little about people who *enjoy* driving in their 'filthy car' some now and again.

Aaaargh! Now I am in a bad mood!

I'll have to take my stook out for a spin

We send back the prepaid envelopes, and breakdown the rest for recycling. Most paper can be recycled except for the clear envelope windows that can be torn out. We like trees and keep a "green" office in or town.

Gotta have trees so we can keep the tops down on the S2ks without wearing factor 1000 sunscreen (no ozone layer).

 

Why not go a little farther. Don't just send the junk mail back in the pre-paid envelopes, but put to much weight in it and make um pay postage due to open it.

 

WOW! I think I'll do this! this is frikin' AWESOME!!!!!!
hehehe I think I'll also start the same thing with telemarketers by repeating EVERYTHING they say....and be just as rude...

 

Sometimes after I pull a stunt I kind of feel bad for a couple of minutes so I wasn't sure how I would feel.
I sent the first junk mail back today in the prepaid envelope. Stuck a mastercard in a visa and visaversa. Wasn't sure of my post mailing additude, but I feel good!

 

Hotmail has a nifty "block sender" feature

 

Too bad the US Post Office doesn't have a similar feature.
